TheStar: Perak needs better drainage to check aedes

IPOH: Perak has called on the Housing and Local Government Ministry to improve the state drainage system as a long-term measure to check the aedes mosquito menace.

State Health, Environment and Human Resources Committee chairman A. Sivanesan said for instance, there were many new housing areas and construction sites in Manjung without proper drainage.

“The drains connecting the new housing estates to the older ones are clogged, turning them into mosquito-breeding grounds,” he said yesterday after visiting Bercham new village.

Bercham is one of the areas with an increasing number of dengue cases. Manjung is another. It recorded 63 new cases last week. Read More..

TheStar: Breeders facing massive losses

THREE fish farmers are claiming that a project to deepen Sungai Dinding in Manjung, Perak, has resulted in the deaths of their livestock worth RM1.5mil. Breeder Tang Lee Yong claimed that the project’s sand dredging works nearby, initiated by the Transport Ministry, had caused the deaths of his fish which were reared in cages.

He said 70,000 tonnes of tilapia started to die since Sunday.

“I have been farming here for the last eight years and this has never happened before. As the result, I have suffered RM500,000 in losses,” he said.

Tang, who owns the Ainan Aquatic Sdn Bhd fish farming company, said that several other fish farmers were also similarly affected. Read More..

Not only that, much to the relief of villager Kamarudin Johari, yesterday’s detonation only damaged three floorboards in his house.

The 0.3m-long bomb was lying among the wooden stilts beneath his house at Kampung Batu Tiga in Segari, here.

“I am relieved. Not only are my family and the villagers safe, even my house was left intact,” he told reporters after the detonation. Read More..
